Today you are going to look at resistance to Roman rule in Britain. (You will watch quite a bit of video material to see how the Celts resisted Roman rule and how the Romans tried to protect their empire.)
Follow the instructions step by step:

Not all the Celts welcomed Roman rule in Britain. Some Celts moved away from the areas ruled by the Romans. (For example, they moved to the west, to Wales, to Ireland and to Scotland.) Other Celtic tribes fought against the Romans to drive them out of Britain. Unfortunately, these tribes were defeated by the Roman armies. Let’s look at resistance to Roman rule in a bit more detail:
